Karamoja and Kara-Tunga Arts & Tours has been listed as number one among the top African destinations to visit in 2017 by Wanderlust Movement, a South African based blog inspiring South Africans to travel.
We’re excited to be endorsed by globetrotter Mike McCaffrey of Nomadic By Nature as best off the beaten track destination in Africa. In 2016 Mike took the year to road trip across Africa from Nairobi to Cape Town. He is constantly traveling for work, while working to travel, and has now visited over 70 countries, working in more than 20 of them. Therefore we are even more proud that of all countries he visited, Karamoja and Kara-Tunga Arts & Tours made an impact on him.
“Karamoja is best known for its past of violent cattle rustling and armed tribal resistance to strongmen like Idi Amin. However, the region has been stable for a couple years now, and is a wonderful destination for the intrepid traveler. The Karamojong live in big thatched villages, wear colorful hats, and are full of stories for their days as warriors.”
We’re excited that Karamoja is featured as Uganda travel and tour destination by the Norwegian travel magazine Vagabond by award winning photojournalist Sofi Lundin Photography that we hosted in the region.
Kidepo Valley invited Kara-Tunga for regional radio talkshow in Karamoja (Ateker FM). The talkshow highlighted tourism development and the importance of capacity building with the Karamoja Tourism Academy.
2016 was not the first time that Theo Vos had traveled to Karamoja. It was the first time that he felt brave enough to travel around and sleep with warriors in the bush, and explore the mountains freely by feet, motor bikes and cars without security.
Uganda made it back to the honorable list of best destinations to visit in 2023 by CNN Travel. The listing highlights the new national focus on community tourism and adventure tourism, with special mention for the National Cycling Trail including the Ateker Trail through Karamoja.
